Some tips to keep the Jaggery safe and for long time:
----------------------------------------------------
1) Keep the jaggery in the jaggery box (cartoon) itself and open the top lids.
2) Don't put in the closed vessels or plastic boxes or in air-tight container.
3) Don't expose the jaggery to moisture and keep the Jaggery in warm/moderate temperature (between 28 or 32 degree.)
4) Put turmeric powder around the jaggery box to avoid the ants.
5) You can keep the jaggery in any box but it should be air-circulated (but not moisture expose).
6) Best if you use bambu basket (we call mankari/butti in kannada) which has the air circulation.
7) Put some warm cloth in the bottom and also on the top of the box.
8) Watch out the jaggery box (like the one we provided) regularly and see if not spoiled/infected (for white patches on the Jaggery, etc). In case, jaggery spoiled, then put them to vessel, add little water and boiled the jaggery with low flame and make it liquid jaggery and use it, soon.
9) If more temperature also, the jaggery would turn to melt.
10) Be extra alert during rainy or in cold weather.
Few feedback from user:
-----------------------
1) As per consumer feedback, some people, arranged Jaggery in their kitchen side by side with little gap. Also, some people, kept few dry chilies in the cotton box itself.
2) Some people told that they kept the Jaggery in the refrigerator also and it can sustain for longer time.
3) Some people even made liquid jaggery and kept in refrigerator.
Missing of above precautionary and because of these days cold weather, it might attract fungus or white patches over the Jaggerry.
Note: Any naturally grown product would react to the nature very faster. So, that itself indicates it's not chemical grown.
I am sure, many others have learn to keep the Jaggery in good terms. If you have better plan, please share inputs for others benefits.
